Finding a Tent Site on a Busy Friday Night

The campground we’d selected for the night, Cascade Lake State Park, near the town of Cascade, seemed perfect. Well, sort of. Kinda scummy, actually. But maybe the one area set aside for tents would be nice, and it was on the other side of the lake. Numerous hair-raising turns on a rapidly increasing confusing series of roads later, Scott approached a nice family in a nice home, and got directions back out to the main route. At least we didn’t die in there. Once back on Highway 55 we said, hey, we’re north of where we were, it’s going to take us a long time to get our way back to the campsite, and it’s not all that nice anyway. Plus, there’s a campground 40 miles north with SHOWERS!!! Seemed like an excellent plan. Till we got there and they were full. Following some more odd directions, we finally found a site at the Ponderosa State Park North campground. Our $12.72 (tax. They add tax.) also got us showers at the main Ponderosa State Park way back in town.

How is the tent holding up? Any gear you wished you had (or didn't have)? We're planning a weekend of local (CT) camping in August (with two rugrats, more than a weekend would be too much). It's not going to be worth blogging it... ;)
